Terry Bannon, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner is expected to implement a more simplified playbook than that of Terry Shea, who directed the team's offense in 2004. "I felt last year the whole offense—the whole potential of the playbook—was put on us at once, and we never really got good at one thing," QB Rex Grossman said.

Updating previous reports, the Kansas City Chiefs have announced Terry Shea will serve as their quarterbacks coach in 2005. It was previously reported that Shea, who returned to the team after one year as the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, would coach the tight ends. However, head coach Dick Vermeil said Shea will be the team's quarterbacks coach, a position he held from 2001-03.

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears OT Aaron Gibson, who started every game in 2003 at right tackle, has been very impressive thus far this off-season. ''We came out of the first minicamp, and the biggest surprise, in my opinion, was Aaron Gibson,'' offensive coordinator Terry Shea said. ''Then I got back [Friday, April 16], and he's already lost a serious amount of weight from Day 1. I see nothing but great resolve in that guy. We're going to find the five best players, and he could end up being one of the five best.'' Gibson has also reportedly dropped his weight to 370 pounds and will likely drop below that figure once training camp begins.
